The aluminum components of this product are quite strong. If you have a Crystal Sky remote control, it can work very well because the Crystal Sky adapter is made of aluminum. On the other hand, the phone/tablet holder is cheap. Luckily the spring holes were pointing down when I tried to spread the lever to fit my phone because the nifty plastic cover that screwed onto the lever holding the spring in place snapped instantly and the spring got stuck in my carpet. I don't want that shot to hit me in the eye. save your money Will return.
